Re: SlimP3 - XPL = Homeseer 2

["JohnQuirk" <johnquirk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all, thanks for your comments. I've managed to get this
working now. Sort of. If I use the XPLHALEXE.exe, rather than the
service it works fine. This is ok for now, but I would really like
to be able to use the service version so I don't need to keep the
machine logged on.

Anyone got any tips on this.

Thanks

John
